Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

A lying tongue- liars, any lie, all lies.
The Lord HATES lying.

*******
The Lord HATES when we intentionally make false statements.
The father of lies is…
Joh_8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
The devil is the father of lies.
The one who created lies.
God is TRUTH.
Satan is LYING.
The LORD hates when we lie because that reveals that we are of the FATHER of lies, not the FATHER of truth!
If we holdfast to the truth then we are holding fast to our CREATOR, our SAVIOR.
If we holdfast to lying then we are holding fast to SATAN, our destroyer!
Every single lie, no matter how tiny we want to claim it is, no matter how harmless we want to imagine it being, no matter how white we label that lie is still a LIE.
We soothe our conscience by saying our lies actually prevent warrantless harm, and undeserved upset. We say that because we don't want to hurt anyone with the truth because it is true, the truth can hurt… a lot!
The truth can hurt us, it can hurt others, it can cause us untold embarrassment. The truth can destroy, no one said the truth is harmless, but it is THE TRUTH. How often do we simply tell a tiny lie in order to keep ourselves from the shame of some action or non-action of ours? Is it easier to say 'I forgot…' than say, 'I didn't want to…' Is it easier to say, 'Yes, I like that…' than to say, 'No, I don't like that…' ? Is it easier to say, 'It'll be all right…' than to say, 'It's not going to be all right.' ? You understand what I'm saying. We find it EASIER to lie and we ease our conscience by saying it's the right thing to spare another person.
I'm not equating telling the truth to being a blunt speaker who says what they feel, intentionally hurting others. I'm saying that we should tell the truth when we are faced with either telling the truth or telling a lie. But to offer unsolicited comments on everything and anything, and call it telling the truth is just patting ourselves on the back in a self-righteous way and truly causing intentional harm where no harm is warranted.
The next time we are tempted to lie we need the Holy Spirit to convict us of the truth- the God HATES lying, God will HATE that lie we tell. Do we believe it? We have to believe it, it's God's truth!
Satan is the one who loves lies and loves to hear us lie.
Who do we choose to follow? It is OUR choice. God or Satan.
And yes, it's easy and hard.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Mat_10:38 And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Easy and hard.
It is the truth and because Satan hates the truth He will attack us and make it as hard as he can for us to live in the truth.
God will allow what He will allow knowing the end from the beginning , knowing what we all need to endure even when we can't fathom the how's or why's. All by HIS grace may we LIVE in HIM in HIS holy TRUTH!
Please Savior, please help us to live in truth, hating lies as You hate lies. Teach us, guide us, keep us in YOU! All by YOUR grace and mercy, YOUR LOVE, ALWAYS!
